sweet car man
the only thing good about that car is the lack of a nasty wing, but the nasty *** veilside kit makes me forget about that.
looks like someone took a yellow **** and put ugly wheels on it

watch_this - Your a bit of a tool mate. The guy is having a go himself. It doesn't have to look good, as long as it works! Who gives a rats fat **** what it looks like under there?! No one can see under there anyway!

I saved myself $500AUS by not getting my intercooler polished! Like I said, no one can see it under there! Does that means its dodgy? Hell no! And I think my car is faster than just about anything you have worked on!

Guys, Guys, Guys... Leave him alone. It's okay. Most of us here know that our project cars are all personalized, and none are identical. There are no "kits" for our cars, and not all of us have a shop to do the work for us. As for those that do use a shop's services (as I will for tuning), we are people with responsibilites, mortgages, bills, etc.

Okay ... I've gone through and 'hooverized' things a bit.

Watch This is new to our forum here, and likely doesn't realize the way we do business.

Generally, this is more of a close-knit community in here, rather than a free for all, so we would all appreciate some measure of diplomacy and common dignity extended to all.

This is not to say that we all must agree -- far from it -- as debate often brings about new/innovative or otherwise previously unconsidered solutions to problems. However, attacking other people doesn't go over well here (thus my cleaning things up) and it also tends to be self-defeating -- not to mention it also snowballs.

My thoughts are simply this: This section is one of the best on this forum as far as helpfulness/friendliness, and for any new member that stays around, they usually come to do likewise as treating people (whether in person or over the internet) with basic decency tends to be contagious.

i made a remark about the fact that none of us go to shops, cuz none of us have enough money.

If i had the money to have my car profesionally built and tuned,


Id have a 3rd gen.

So, like....

any more pics of FMIC's? (or is this thread already too fubar?)

I dig the notion of the NPR up front, that is a GREAT IC, and the price is just icing on top.

Anyone have any other cheap(ish) IC's mounted up?

i.e. :
MKIV Supra
Volvo
Saab
Starion
etc.


dare I ask..... anyone used a powerstroke IC? <evil grin>
